Remarks
This class provides a simple wrapper around the MessageBox function so you can easily display a message box of a specified type with alternate contents.
To use, drop the class on a project or form or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut menu, select Add to Project or Add to Form. When you add the class to a form, specify the appropriate values for the message (cMessage), the type of message box (nType), and other appropriate properties. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class or creating a subclass.
See Guidelines for Using Visual FoxPro Foundation Classes for more information on using foundation classes.
